The Largest Gorilla Yet.

Boston has Just received from
Africa the largest gorilla ever land
ed in this country. His name is
Jack, and he is five feet in height
when standing erect, and measures
seven feet from the end Of one out

weighs about 1876 pounds, and ex
hihits enormous strength, compared

very coarse, and from two to four
inches in length, is of grecnisIl
gray color. and on tho back, legs
and arms inclines to a black. His
shoulders are immense. The express

The Ways Of Thieves

Negroes have q certain way of
stealing dogs that we never heard
explained. They can steal the most
vicious kind of brutes. We never
believed that until negro thief here
named Tom Goabout stole lerocinus
mastiff on a bet with the owner,
who was hoasting that nobody could
get into his yard while the dog was
there. a nigger thief will eteal
clothes all the time. Ii lie tell into
~ room full Of siIverware. he mi hit
take something. but he'd hunt around
and ge, clothes before he left BE
wants women's clothes especially
aud in Que instance, we remember a
c"Iorcd man was arrested at uight
with Il stolen hustle under his coat
tails. Another fellow, years ago,
broke into a honee and stole a pair
Of hoops, and when he was going
down stairs they fell from under his
arm, and he tripped ou them and
went head foremost to the bottom
and vas arrested. The burglar who
was busy at his work and forgot
himself aud began whistling u JIG
and brought the cops On him was
another sample Of "chump."
There was story of a New York
burglar who broke into house one
Christmas Eve and put his jimmy in
a little girls stocking. and left his
c'ndIc on the mantle and left the
house. We don't know how true il
is, but we heard it. The musica
burglar who broke into n musician.
/ house and picked up cornet, and
couldn't resist the temptation Il
, blow it once, and then had to JUMP
through a window, was another
funny fellow.

ONLY WAITING.

A very aged man. in an aim house. wa
asked what he was doing now. He replied
Only waiting
Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown,
Till the night of earth is faded
Prom the heart once full OF day;
Till the stars Of heaven are breaking
Through tho twilight soft and grey
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home,
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have come
Quickly. rearcrs! gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart.
For the bloom Of life is wlthered,
And hasten to depart
Only waiting till the angels
Open vide the mystic gate.
At whose feet | long have fingered,
Weary, poor and desoiate.
Even now hear their footsteps.
And their voice far away;
If they call NE. am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown.
Only waiting till the gllrnlner
OF the days last beam Is t1own;
Then from out the gathering darkness,
Holy, deathlc5s stars shall rise.
By whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway TO the skies.

POwderly Explains.

Mr.. Powderly explains that his
term Of Office being Tor two years. it
is quite mistake to suppose that
he will need to bc re elected when
the Knights meet at Minneapolis
early this mouth. 1t is a mistake.
also, to suppose that he purposes to
resign at this time. In fact, he has
no such intention-unless the coming
General Assembly shall indicate a
desire for his retirement. There are
quite q number Of reforms which he
intends moving the assembly to urge
upon congress, in the interest Of
labor, and he would hesitate to give
up the opportunity to press these
matters, which his present position
atfords. He wants a department
of labor" with a cabinet officer by
tho title Of Secretary Of Labor.
t1e also advocates government con
troll of all telegraph lines. Mr..
Pnwderly warmly denies that tGe
knights of Labor are losing strength.
He asserts that in fact they are
to day stronger than ever before
numbering $4,000 members.
Stoves are to he unknown in the
future on the New York Central

D Phalaux of Voters.

There was 6 new voting element called
into being st the last election, and there
was the beginning Of new alignment Of
many thousands Of former Republican
voters, conditionalIy upon the attitude of
the Democratic party toward tie question
OF prohibition. At least G000 Germans
took out naturalization papers shortly be
fore the election. These new citizens
can be COnditiondIly claimed as Demo-
Gratis. As Tor the 10000 German votes
alluded TO by The Texas German Post, by
whom the Democratic party may be
helped out against any prohibition de
feCuon, they include the votes OF those
born here Of German parents and
taught IN the German Ian
guage, also Austrians, Swiss
and others OF the Germanic family. The
Texas Forwarts goes further aud esti-
mates the number Of these voters ct I0O,-
600. 1t is here If anywhere that S mOdi-
fiCatiOn must be made in former estimates
Of the size Of the Democratic anti vote.
These voters are purely anti, ana will be
Democratic under no other condition
than square opposition 10 prohibition.
Their votes count for lust as much as any
others. II appears 10 be in the power Of
thG Democratic party TO attach to il these
voters. The Texas German Post says
that 8 permanent majority on the anti
prohibition side can lie maintained Only
through the Germans Joining the enti-
! prohibition Democrats as they did in the
late campsicp. The Post continues:
| How imperative this necessity is for the Ger
/ mans &c revealed by the expressions of the pro
! hlbiuOp leaders, who leave nothing untTied 10
| shatter he strong phalanN OF The yiCtOrs by
| bounding the anti prohibition Democrats
! against the Germans Il Will now be the bust
ness of the Germans to work in unison with the
! anu-prOhiDitiOn Democrats TO the end that In
| the next state convention only liberal Anti
! Prohib'tiOnists be nominated for state OH ces.
| ami that in the county and distTiC. conventions
| only such Legislative candidates be nominated
as viii pledgc themselves TO vote against ovcr7
sort OF FrOhibi,l0nist proposals. This appears
to us TO be the next task which deVOlves upon
the Germans from the division of the Demo
cratic party into prOhiDl lon and anti -prOhl-
b,uon party, If they DO not purpose to again
place in jeopardy the victory which they have
just gained. The execution of the plan must
be lett for later discussion.
The Post favOrS county conventions,
but invites discussion. This movement
is notable. As in Michigan, the natural.
lied citizens are again drawn 10 the Dem
ocratic party. But one step is necessary,
perhaps, TO secure this large vote, and
that step q courageous eDuncistion of
principles and development OF policy in
accordance with the genius OF the party

TIE NEED or FACTORIES

TIE NEED or FACTORIES.
The largest shipment Of shingles ever
made 1T one time from Louisiana is said
TO have been made from the cypress dis
tricts ot the Pelican state to partiesi in
Illinois. TIE timber grew in Louisiana,
wss talIed and converted into material
ready for the consumers on the ground
where it grew. All the expense incident
to converting the trees into the marketa-
bic article was incurred and paid in the
state and on the grounds where the tree
stood. and the money so expended was
kept at home and added to the wealth of
the state. This is the true policy and
should be adopted in Texas. We
raise the beef here, ship it on the ho0f,
and have much of it returned TO us
canned, when The double railroad charges
should be saved and the money expended
in preparing it for the customer should
be kept at home, by the erection and
maintenance Of psCkeries. Our hides are
sent east, tanred, manufactured into
shoes and sent back to Texas consumers
VINO have to pay railroad freights both
WAYS besides what money the cOmmu-
nifty OF state loses in manufacturing the
article. Our cotton crop is shipped out,
SO is our wool crop, and while only a
small per cent. of these articles are re-
turned to the Texas consumer, upon
Which double railroad freights must be
psid, the enormous sums expended in
COMPRISING, bagging and ties, shrinkage
and other items IS lost absolutely, snd
what is expended for converting the raw
material into articles ready for the con
sumer is held in the east ard lost TO
Texas. A casual glance al these facts
Will demonstrate the necessity of home
manufactures. Texas is blessed with soil
suitable for producing the raw material.
and in this solitary enterprise she has
grown rich and great. The time is st
hand, however, when the products OF
Texas, being so enormous IS to affect the
markets Of the world, the seeming para-
dox of state growing poorer in direct
ratio to the increase OF her production is
seen. We are nearing that point where
the cotton crop of Texas will not bring

DROUTHS AND EARTHQUAKES.
In another place in this psper Will be

comes lost in q oewilderiUg maze O; b.

not in human nature to admire changes
and innovations in and upon accepted
theories. What we nave learned aud be
ievcd we are 10th to admit is erroneous,
and ne who rudely skaters our imeges
and overturns our convictions is rarely g
welcome visitor. Nevertheless, go many
hosry errors have been explained and
exploded by the light CT investigation
and modern science that new theories,
however much they may waE With the
old should be given hearing and sub
iected TO the test Of scientific examination.
The explanation OF droughts and their
causes given are not altogether new,
though many new idea5 and theories ere
added and some old ones denied. The
fact that arbogtcultuCe Is conducive to

be encouraging to those VINO have long

the average mind deep down through
